Kent Hurlburt’s art doesn’t fare much better. One would think that if someone was going to make a comic book based on real life people, an effort would be made to ensure that the characters actually look like the people they’re meant to portray. The only one who looks like he should is Stephen King himself (and oddly enough, his son, Joe, is portrayed correctly twice).The Napalm Reviews

I loved it (Martha Stewart Female Force). As Scott McCloud puts it in UNDERSTANDING COMICS (pg. 30) “by stripping down an image to its essential ‘meaning,’ an artist can amplify that meaning in a way that realistic art can’t.”The Graphic Classroom
